Lovely 1872 Twenty Dollar, MS62 ★
An Elusive P-Mint Issue

1872 $20 MS62 ★ NGC. All Type Two double eagles are rare in Mint State, although the Philadelphia Mint pieces such as this marvelous 1872 have had extra trouble receiving their due recognition. Garrett and Guth write that "the recent interest in double eagles has revealed the true rarity of these previously ignored specimens." Only two dozen or so pieces have been certified in MS62 or higher grades at both services combined. This piece has deservedly received the coveted Star designation from NGC for superior eye appeal. It is the only MS62 ★ coin, exceeded by two pieces, one MS63 and one MS64. The strike is full throughout both sides of this lovely coin, and abrasions are scattered and relatively minor compared to the broad eye appeal.(Registry values: N4719)
